Garbled character in GetInfo

Hi,
I have taken a PDF file and go to its property
2) Then Go to it PDF tab
3) In the Title set as 123*423
4) Now importing the pdf file thru my application, Now go the imported file properties and see the Title.
5) 123*423 - * is changed to some other character (Like multiple symbol this is happening for divide symbol also)
Environment: Japanese XP and Japanese Acrobat 7.0/8.0
//code
CString CAcroPDDoc::GetInfo(LPCTSTR szInfoKey)
CString result;
static BYTE parms[] =
VTS_BSTR;
InvokeHelper(0x8, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_BSTR, (void*)&result, parms,
szInfoKey);
return result;
//call
_tcscpy( pdfExportDocProperties.m_Title ,acroPDDoc.GetInfo( _T("Title") ) );
// call end
InvokeHelper(0x8, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_BSTR, (void*)&result, parms,
szInfoKey); - szInfoKey value is garbled. How to handle this in Acrobat.
Regards,
Gnanaprakash

I have got garbled only for below character
123×456 (× -garbled, we have some more character like this in Japanese language.)

How to catch multi language's data in MSSQL and data isn't garbled

Hi everyone, I'm Taiwanese PHP developer, sorry for my poor English.
I have 3 language's data:Simplified Chinese,Traditional Chinese, and English in our mssql2012 database.
If I want to use ADODB to catch data,The Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese will be garbled.
I try to use mb_convert_encoding($data,
'UTF-8','BIG-5'),
the Traditional Chinese is ok, but Simplified Chinese is still garbled.
Do anyone have suggestion?
This is my output:

Hi Yun Chen,
Not knowledgable on PHP programing, but as far as I know The BIG-5 is specific for traditional Chinese, so that's why you got garbled character for simplified Chinese.
As the Chinese character encoding wiki says, there're newer standards such as
GB18030 and
Unicode which have separate code points for both simplified and traditional characters. I believe this may be a good starting for you to make the conversion work.
Regarding your description, this is not some specific question on SQL Server. I would suggest you post your question on a dedicated PHP forum. It is more appropriate and more experts will help you.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Slovakian Language (SK) character display problem

Hi,
Enviroment:R3 enterprise 110 /unicode/Oracle
I'm having problem with one of the character for Slovakian. It seems that the character are display correctly when displaying thru Customer master data display (FD03 ) but show garble character (# etc) when display thru FD10N or FB03.
Can anyone please guide me on where to look at or is this something I should refer to SAP?
Thanks for any feedback

I found out what was the problem. It is the configuration of the character set in I18N. I've to set this character set to "Central European" and it works fine.
The only problem that I had now is a programmer having problem displaying some of the SK language? Please help!!!.

Garbage on the screen instead of setup screen

Hi
My son's wrt54g2 v1.5 linksys router was working fine. WPA2 mode was setup also, working correctly, until he came home one night and wasn't able to use wifi. Computers, phones etc., that were setup with the security code could not logon.
I had him try to use his browser and connect using 192.168.1.1, but, all that came up with was a screen full of garbled characters instead of the setup screen.
Next I had him try to reset the router, holding in the reset button for 30 seconds, then coldbooting the router. Unfortunately, the same garbled character screen reappeared. Fortunately, it did reset the security, so he can use the router without security.
We really don't want to leave the router running without WPA2, and, would like to once again access the routers setup, so, If someone has any ideas, I'd appreciate suggestions. We've already reset the router 4 times, and, it works connecting to the internet fine, we just can't get into the routers firmware to reset passwords or setup WPA2. Tried connecting using both Firefox and Chrome, his laptop uses Windows, mine Linux. Tried accessing using wifi and using ethernet. Did I cover it all?
Thanks in advance
Tom

Thanks again for responding. And no, there are no firewalls on the computers I used for testing. We use the router as our firewall. Today, I used my "siduction" install (Debian Sid) to see if I could come up with anything interesting, which needless to say, I didn't. I'm one of the Core members of "siduction", and, we don't install a firewall by default. It's up to the user to install it if they deem it necessary. I also use a Linksys E2500 for my own home network, and the same laptop worked perfectly fine bringing up my router's setup screen before I used it to test my son's router. I also use Fedora, which comes with an automatic firewall, and, that install also had no trouble with the setup screen. I also have openSUSE on my network, along with a few Windows dual boot laptops. All of my machines bring up my 192.168.1.1 without incident.
Is there anyway to test the RAM and/or firmware without being able to access the linksys using 192.168.1.1? I'm starting to think that the router is just suffering from old age and there might be a hardware problem. Its also possible that he might have had a power line drop or surge that might have affected the router. While I have all my electronics plugged in to UPS's, he had his router plugged directly in to the outlet.
It's funny, everything the router is supposed to do, it is doing well. It's supplying IP addresses, accepting multiple wifi logins, and asking for a password to enter setup. It just won't show me the setup screen.

Spanish Character Sets Garbled

We have a client that is trying to use Contribute CS4 to edit some pages with Spanish content. The chacter sets show up correctly when viewing in Contribute but after publishing -- they are all garbled.
The reading I've done online consists of people mainly complaining about Contribute being horrible for multi-lingual but I haven't seen any solutions or workarounds.
Anyone got a suggestion?
Thanks!
Erik

Hello,
the national charsets is for column types like nvarchar not for normal varchar data types. So if your dump file contains such column types you will also need to set it. The charset is for the normal column types like varchar. The use of unicode is best pratice if you use multiel language, but keep in mind that multibyte charset can be a problem during the import because varchar2(10) means 10byte and not 10 chars, so errors like identifier to long can occur during import.
You can create the database.
Check this documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28298/ch2charset.htm
You can use a charset like WE8MSWIN1252 which covers spanish also (as far i know) and is a superset to us7ascii
regards
Peter

Character Garbled in the log file

HP-UX ia64
Netweaver 7.0
CPS M28.17-35130
DB2 database
HP-UX locale: en_US.utf8
DB2 database encoding: utf8
1: I have Chinese characters directly in the Redwoodscript(Job Definition), which would be printed into jcsErr/jcsOut.
   then in the log file, the Chinese characters are garbled.
2: there is a job parameter as input string, and it will be printed into jcsErr/jscOut in the RedwoodScript.
   when submitting the job definition, set the parameter with some Chinese Characters,
   then in the log file, the Chinese characters are shown properly.
I get down the java file in the /usr/sap/CPT/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/java/compile0, and open it by Eclipse(utf-8),
and see that the Chinese Characters in the java source file are shown properly.
this is tested in our Product env.
Once in our dev/test env, all is ok.
and now I don't know what the difference causes issue 1.
I have no idear how to trace this problem.
hope you can shed some light to me.

PDF with garbled text after editing on a Mac

Hi all, hope someone can help. I'm struggling to get to the bottom of a very bizarre issue. I have a number of PDFs that were originally created using ABBYY's FineReader OCR software. They display fine, and I can "copy" text from the documents to the clipboard with no issues.
However, as soon as I bring them over to the Mac side and make a change to the document using OS X's Preview, things go wrong. As soon as any changes are made, I can no longer copy text from the document to the clipboard - the text that ends up on the clipboard is garbled. However, the display text is still perfectly legiable.
For example. here's a link to a very simple and basic PDF document, that was originally a perfectly fine PDF but became mangled.
Broken PDF
Using Acrobat I've removed all the graphics and most of the text from the document, leaving just a single text box ("AUTUMN SPECIAL!").
So if I highlight the text on the page which reads:
AUTUMN SPECIAL!
what ends up on the clipboard is:
*)﴿*%& (﴾'"!# $
I've done a whole ton of reading about the internals of PDFs and I'm pretty certain that this is something to do with the CMAP character-to-glyph mappings; but I've no idea what to do to fix it. Acrobat's PreFlight check for the PDF/A 2a standard tells me:
"Text cannot be mapped to Unicode"
"Type 2 CID font: CIDToGIDMap invalid or missing"
Also, an inventory report (available here) shows the letter "A" being mapped to a space, letter "C" to a exclamation mark etc - all obviously wrong. However, "Analyze and Fix" won't fix the problem
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? I know it's definitely a bug somewhere on the Mac side and the obvious answer would be to avoid editing documents using OS X Preview, but unfortunately I have several hundred documents in this state. Is there any way to fix the mapping, or otherwise return the text to a state where it can be accurately copied from the document?
Thanks very much in advance for any help or advice given.

I doubt you could fix this. Generally a "garbled" file is considered unusable for copying, and that's that. If a PDF uses random mappings instead of standard ones it looks fine on screen, but text extraction is impossible.
Short of converting every page to bitmap and OCRing again.

Polish characters are garbled during PDF conversion

Hi,
I am facing problem with polish characters while converting spool to pdf in smartform. I have configured the new printer with device type I2SWIN with respective codepage. The preview of pdf in SAP is fine but when it is sent as an attachment in email or converted through program RSTXPDFT4, the polish characters are garbled.
I have already searched SDN for this but didnt find any soolution pertaining to my problem.
Please suggest a solution.
Regards
Abhimanyu.

Hello,
Is your system a unicode system?
If so perhaps the Cascading Fonts might be useful for you (see SAP note 812821).
Cascading Font means that the PDF converter checks each character
of the text. For each character it determines the Unicode
character range, to which the character belongs. After this
it checks the SAP font name and determines, which PDF font
shall be used for this SAP font and the Unicode character range.
(see SAP note 999712)
You should get and install the device type SWINCF from note 812821, as
it is described in note 812821 (you must first apply the latest code
correction of note 812821).
Regards,
David

Why does text sometimes get garbled when pasting from Excel or opening a PDF in Illustrator?

Hi everyone,
This issue has puzzled me for some time. I've been creating charts in Excel (2008, and now 2011) and pasting them into my Illustrator document (CS5 on a Mac). Sometimes everything pastes perfectly, while other times all or some of the labels, titles, etc. are garbled.
Another strange thing is I can also select a chart in Excel and Save as Picture then chose PDF as the format. The resulting PDF looks exactly how it is supposed to, however when I open it with Illustrator for editing the same thing happens as with pasting.
I realize this issue doesn't involve Illustrator alone, but I figure I have a better chance on these forums than on some Excel forum. If anyone has any ideas to try I would be very happy to hear them!
Thanks very much,
Bern

It's mid-2013 here, this is the first result on Google for this stupid problem. The last comment basically focused on how there are no known solutions to this yet.
ADOBE: I WANT MY PDFs TO OPEN IN ILLUSTRATOR WITHOUT HAVING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG IN THE ORIGINAL WORD DOC OR WHATEVER WAS USED TO OPEN THEM. IF PREVIEW CAN SEE THE FILE AS IT SHOULD BE SEEN, THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE THIS DOWN.
Why do we pay money to put up with this crap? For the amount we are giving you to use your software, you should be on top of these like flies on the stuff that flies like.
I have PDF docs that I need to open in Illustrator because - no doubt due to Adobe's greed - there is literally no other software that can edit the PDF meat. I don't get why InDesign cannot handle PDFs, and we are stuck with this "one page at a time" Illustrator BS. In any case, I need to open these PDFs, and I can't - because they all come out as garbage. I feel like this could be fixed by Adobe in like a week. But that's just not gonna happen, because they would rather spend all their time and resources thinking of new ways to take my money.
Clearly it's a fonts compatibility issue. Why can't we have a dialogue box with character encoding and font selection options when we try and open a PDF?

Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) corrupting character data/report content when printing

Our software uses Adobe Reader to print PDF files, via a Java application that runs an exec command to invoke AcroRd32.exe.
This has been working fine for years without problems, however recently one of our client sites upgraded all their Windows machines to Adobe Reader X 10.0.1 from Adobe Reader 9. Since the upgrade, the reports render to the screen fine for print previews, and the PDF files on disk are fine if you open them up - however printing them via the exec command to AcroRd32.exe causes the tables in the report (containing financial information) to be garbled.
The characters all seem to be shifting up one ASCII code. That is, every "A" in the report becomes a "B", every "1" becomes a "2", and the "," character becomes a "-". For example, the string "ABC" prints out on the report as "BCD", and the number "1,234.00" prints out as "2-345/11".
Nothing else has changed on the client PCs or their environment except for Adobe Reader being upgraded from 9 to X. The PCs are running a fully patched Windows XP Professional o/s. This is software that has been run for years on many client sites over many different versions of Windows and we have never had any of these sorts of problems.
Has anyone else had this problem, and are there any fixes to it? - it is a serious problem, and is happening at our largest client site, and to be honest it is extremely disappointing reading how many problems there are with Adobe Reader X is by looking through the forums on this site. This problem may cause us to lose our clients and is damaging our professional reputation, so we are extremely unhappy.
Note that as this is occurring on our client site we are not able to go in and test "hacked" work-arounds like turning of protected mode - as that would look extremely unprofessional.

We're experiencing the same issues but it doesn't seem to be restricted to Ad
obe Reader X. We have some users using Adobe Reader
9.x.
We're using WinXP pro Sp3; it occurs on different brands of Pc's and different brands and types of printers, HP deskjets, laserjets to Lexmark Laserjets and Kyocera Mita Laserjets.
It occurs trying to print from a pdf opened in IE or an attachment in an email. Reprinting the exact same document a second time will usually print OK. The time we've been able to duplicate the problem back to back is printing an email attachment by "Right clicking" the attachement and then clicking "print" at that point the whole document prints garbled.
Our other print outs; File > Print, usually start out OK but somewhere's down the page it prints garbled text, then reprinting will be OK. It doesn't happen all the time, just randemly.

Garbled fonts when generating a PDF file

Greetings all:
I am currently creating a series of documents in FM10 which are then converted to PDF for eventual posting on the web.The first two converted to PDF okay (more or less). I created a chapter template which is used for making the third document. All of the formats and document properties are the same. When I generated the PDF (saved book as PDF), I got some weird results. All of the headings, chapter titles, and other text that used the Lucida Sans Demi Bold font came out garbled. Even the character count doesn't jibe with the original in Frame. I checked to make sure the font is installed in the c:\windows\fonts folder. Adobe PDF is set as the default printer. I tried generating the PDF with "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts" checked and un-checked both. There was no difference in the output.
I don't have much of a choice in fonts. The people I'm doing the work for really want to use the Lucida Sans Demi Bold font. Other sans-serif fonts look okay in regular type but their bold faces are too bold.
Fonts aside, what's going on with the PDF conversion and why am I getting it now with this new document when it worked before with the other two documents?
BTW - I'm using the PDF add-on that came with FM10. We don't have the full version of Acrobat installed. No one to compare notes with here, I'm the only writer and the only FM10 user. On a Win7 platform.

Make certain that the "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" option is checked in your SaveAsPDF window. Otherwise, you're using the CMYK workflow, which has some serious problems.

Migrating welogic 6.1 to 8.1 international character display problem

Hi,
          I am migrating application from weblogic 6.1 to weblogic 8.1 sp1 , my problem is character like french, spanish and german are not displaying properly. i have tried following:
          1.<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF8" pageEncoding="UTF8"%> in all the pages.(not working)
          2. i have removed above setting from all pages which are included as static (still not working)
          3. in weblogic.xml I defined<jsp-param>
                    <param-name>encoding</param-name>
                    <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
                    </jsp-param>
                    <jsp-param>
                    <param-name>compilerSupportsEncoding</param-name>
                         <param-value>false</param-value>
                    </jsp-param>
          with all permutation and combination.(not working)
          I am getting some of characters garbled.
          any solutions


In 6.1 how did the page look? i.e what encoding did it have? ISO-8859-1 should've fit all the langs you've mentioned unless I've missed something.

Flat File Load Issue - Cannot convert character sets for one or more charac

We have recently upgraded our production BW system to SPS 17 (BW SP19)
and we have issues loading flat files (contain Chinese, Japanese and
Korean characters) which worked fine before the upgrade. The Asian
languages appear as invalid characters (garbled) as we can see in PSA. The Character Set
Settings was previously set as Default Setting and it worked fine until
the upgrade abd we referred to note 1130965 and with the code page 1100
the load went through (without the Cannot convert character sets for one or more characters error) however the Asian language characters will appear
as invalid characters. We tried all the code pages suggested in the note e.g.
4102, 4103 etc on the info packages but it did not work. Note that the
flat files are encoded in UTF-8.

I checked lower case option for all IO
When i checked the PSA failed log no of records processed is "0 of 0" my question is with out processing single record system is througing this error message.
When i use same file loading from local workstation no error message
I am thinking when I FTP the file from AS/400 to BI Application Server(Linex) some invalid characters are adding but how can we track that invalid char?
Gurus please share your thoughts on this I will assign full points.
Thanks,

Oracle database character set

Hello all -
Please help..................
I will be exporting/importing 6/7 users/schemas/data from one database to the another database on solaris. Users are created.
I am confused about NLS_LANG variable and database characterset.
I have the following questions -
1. What is impact of NLS_LANG variable setting of user session while import/export the data ?
2. Why do we need to set this NLS_LANG user session variable before export/import ?
3.If NLS_LANG variable is not set (doesnot have any value) what would happen ?
4. If I have to set NLS_LANG varible, what should I set it to?
5. How can I see the characterset of my database?
6. Where can I get more info about database charaterset and What are the valid values for database characterset and NLS_LANG varibale ?
Any help would really appreciated...
Thanks a lot.....

1. What is impact of NLS_LANG variable setting of user session while import/export the data ?
On export, the data will be converted from the database character set to the character set specified by NLS_LANG. In import, the database will assume that the data is in the character set specified by NLS_LANG and use that value to perform the conversion to the database character set if the two values to not match.
2. Why do we need to set this NLS_LANG user session variable before export/import ?
If your database character set is the same as your OS, you don't necessarily have to set NLS_LANG. For instance, if you have a US7ASCII db, and your OS locale is set to AMERICA_AMERICAN.US7ASCII, there won't be any problems. The only time it's really important to set this is when the db and OS settings don't match.
3.If NLS_LANG variable is not set (doesnot have any value) what would happen ?
If your database character set doesn't match your OS, the data could be garbled because the db will incorrectly transcode the data on import/export.
4. If I have to set NLS_LANG varible, what should I set it to?
Depends on what your database character set is set to (see below).
5. How can I see the characterset of my database?
select * from nls_database_parameters and look for the value set for the NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter. Don't get confused by the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET, that's for NCHAR datatypes.
So, for instance, if your NLS_CHARACTERSET value is set to UTF8, you would set NLS_LANG to .UTF8 (the dot is important because that's actually shorthand for territory_language.characterset, or language_territory.characterset, I can never remember which comes first. In any case, use the dot). For example:
setenv NLS_LANG .UTF8
6. Where can I get more info about database charaterset and What are the valid values for database characterset and NLS_LANG varibale ?
It's all in the Oracle documentation.
hope this helps.
